La Petite Boutique, Natursteinhäuschen vom 15. Jhd in kleiner, mittelalt. Stadt

The cottage is furnished for your comfort, a home away from home and therefore all my guests needs are hopefully met. All guest comments are carefully considered hence why I am currently looking into obtaining international and english speaking television. There isn't a washing machine in La Petite Boutique as a 24 hour laundrette service is only 2 minutes walk from the cottage. A clothes airer is provided as well as an iron and ironing board. There is no telephone in the cottage as nearly all my guests have mobile telephones. However for guests who do not own mobile telephones, public telephones, which take coins as well as bank cards are situated opposite the tourist information office or on the quay both of which are 5 minutes walk away.

thanks for leaving everything so clean and tidy!

La maison est sur une place dans le village, le boulanger est excellent et le charcuterie n'est pas loin. Ilya plusieurs restaurants dans le village.

Normalement le zoo Beauval va bientôt ouvrir, et plus de châteaux (fin de Covid confinement pour tout le monde!!)

You had fantastic weather - autumn colours on the vineyards and grape harvest, and fresh walnuts, did you taste some fresh bernache? (the first stage of wine- making, lightly fermented grape juice) and the low sun is great for photographing the Chateaux. Hope you had a good journey home.

I Hope your long drive back to Italy was comfortable and trouble free...

There are a surprising number of châteaux and sites that stay open now all year round, and the autumn colours throughout the vineyards and the forests are stunning at this time of year. For anybody wishing to arrive by train, there is a bus service to and from the town centre to the train station (Noyer St Aignan).

La maison étant 15C nous attendons toujours le feu vert pour modifier les fenetres pour plus d'isolation sonique. En attendant j'ai acheté des stores isolantes. La place est beaucoup plus calme depuis quelques entretiens avec l'administration de la ville!

We did have some exceptionally hot weather, so bought fans for each room, and closing the shutters each day keeps the house cool. We do like to keep the mattresses clean and new with cotton-sided impermeable protection, it is such a shame you never contacted me because of course we are at your disposal to provide different bedding if you need to change it. The replacement blinds are now installed in the bathroom. I'm glad you enjoyed the zoo, the "Equestrian Show" at Chambord, and Semblançay and Valençay sound and light shows are worth a visit.

Apparament il y avait Les Harmonicas sur Cher - un festival de musique partout dans la ville. Ily avait de la musique partout! C'était exceptionelle. C'est vrai la maison étant pour 4/5 personnel max il n'y a pas de très grande casserole. Je vais en ajouter. Merci de votre suggestion. J'ai acheté un store pour la Salle de bain.

Je suis ravie que la maison vous a convenue. C'est bien que les châteaux principals restent ouverts tout l'hiver. Jj

You did so much in the short time you stayed! There's so much to see, and a lot of other wines to try ... Montlouis whites (opposite Vouvray) Chinon and Bourgueil reds.... I hope time you'll come and visit us at the farm too.

Les travaux de la maison commencent maintenant la saison touristique est terminée, et nous avons prévu des stores pour les fenêtres, les travaux sur la maison était suivi pas l'architecte des bâtiment de France (monuments historiques) donc la maison (15ème siècle) doit garder son caractère originelle.

it was great meeting you, do come back soon, there's plenty more to see in the area!!

thank you for putting me in touch with the Lapin Blanc bar owners - they are so helpful!
